"Okay you noisy lot, come in and sit down. You can have your chit chats in your own time" Gina Gold shouted over the noisy and surprisingly wide awake officers who were currently piling into the briefing room. Honey caught up with Cameron in the corridor and, messing around but unaware that the briefing room was about to turn silent, she questioned
"Oi Cam, so...what happened with you and Bec last night then? Did you help her find her bed? Are you secret lovers yet?"

Cameron didn't have time to answer because as he and Honey turned their heads, they saw a room full of police officers staring at them. Tony shouted an 'Oi Oi' and winked at Cameron while Reg let out a wolf whistle. Blushing bright red, Cameron looked at Honey who just smiled apologetically.
"PC Harman, thanks for that delightful insight into PC Tait's personal life. Take a seat, now!"

They both took a seat in the front row, leaving a chair in between them for Rebecca. As Cameron lifted his head from the floor, his eyes met with Smithy's, who was giving him daggers through his emerald green eyes. The PC glanced away before looking back and realising the sergeant was still glaring at him. However, that soon changed as Rebecca walked through the door. Cameron kept watching and was intrigued at how fixated Smithy's eyes became on her. They weren't the daggers he'd given Cameron though, more like soft loving, caring looks. Rebecca didn't notice and was unaware of the embarrassment Cameron had gone through minutes before. Instead, she came in and took her seat in between him and Honey. Before anymore looks could be exchanged, Inspector Gold started the briefing. Less than ten minutes later, she was calling out the pairings to inform the uniformed relief who they were working with for the day.
"PC Harman, you are with PC Stamp. PC Klein and PC Hemmingway. PC Hollis and PC Best. PC Casper, your with PC Hunter and lastly PC Tait...your with PC Jones. Be good!"

A loud 'Wheyyyy' was heard from Tony and while everyone laughed, Rebecca just wondered what the fuss was about. She smiled sweetly at Cameron and he smiled back. This, of course, didn't go unnoticed by Smithy who felt the same pang of jealousy that he'd felt the evening before when he spotted the two PC's leaving the station together, although once again, he tried to shake it off.

The morning had been quite a busy one with officers bringing in a number of people for different offences. Honey and Tony had brought in a drug dealer they'd been after for weeks who had been dealing to 15 year old school boys. Gary and Yvonne brought in a teenage thug who burgled an old couple's garden shed then set fire to it but had been caught by the two officers as they'd been patrolling the streets at the time. A drunken tramp, a drink driver and a known paedophile had also been brought in. Rebecca and Cameron felt very proud of themselves when they brought their offender in. They had brought in Liam Nelson, a known informant of the one and only David Radford. Even though Radford had died, Liam had carried on doing the work that had been left. He was charged for a number of different things including drug dealing, sex trafficking and money laundering. This was a big breakthrough at the station and even though it was still morning, the officers all decided to go out for drinks after work that evening to celebrate.

Before long it was time for REFS so Rebecca and Cameron decided to join their friends for some dinner. They had just sat down on a table with Honey, Yvonne, Tony, Reg, June and Gina when a call was put out over the radios by Dean McVerry.

"All units from Sierra Oscar, a disturbance at 12 lake field house. Informant is a Jenny Nelson, Can anyone deal?"

Rebecca and Cameron glanced at each other and had the same idea. Rebecca spoke into her radio

"Sierra Oscar from 202, show me dealing!"

She then turned her attention to Inspector Gold who was sitting next to Cameron

"Marm, that informant of David Radford's that me and Cameron arrested earlier, his name is Liam Nelson. The woman who rang in was called Jenny Nelson, conscience?"

Gina shook her head and after informing them both to be safe, Rebecca and Cameron rushed out of the station and towards the patrol car.

'Ding Dong'

"Oh hi I'm PC Jones, this is PC Tait. We've had a report of a disturbance at this address. Mind if we take a look around?"

The man standing by the brown wooden door let the two officers in without a fuss. While Cameron checked upstairs, Rebecca checked ground level, starting with the kitchen which was straight in front. She took a look at the back door and noticed that it had been kicked in. Rebecca turned to let the man know about her findings but as she did, he pushed her against the door and shoved tape across her mouth. Rebecca didn't have a chance to pull it off because the man pulled out some white rope and tied her hands in front of her. He then dragged the scared PC into the living area and sat her down at the table. That's when Rebecca realised she wasn't alone. There was another woman sitting opposite her, hands tied and with tape over her mouth. Suddenly, Rebecca heard footsteps coming down the stairs and realised it was Cameron. Through the tape, she tried to let out a scream to warm him but failed. As he walked in to the living room, Cameron spotted Rebecca and another woman tied up but before he could take another step, he was hit across the head with a heavy object and fell straight to the floor.

"Do you know why you're here cop?" the man asked Rebecca, who mumbled something in return. The man realised she wouldn't be able to talk with the tape on her mouth. So with one pull, he ripped it from the PC's mouth. He knelt down to her level and again he asked

"Well, do you know why your here?"

Rebecca shook her head but then had an idea.
"I don't know why my colleague and I are here, neither do I know why that lady is tied up. Look, untie me and then we can talk yeah?"

The man thought for a moment but then worked out what she was trying to do. He jumped up and ordered her to put her mobile and radio on the table which she did but what the man didn't notice was that Rebecca pressed the side button when she put her radio down so everything from her end could now be heard back at the station in CAD.

After her REFS, Honey had been asked to cover someone in CAD, which she was happy enough to do. Just as things seemed to quieten down, something startling was heard over the radio

"Please, can you untie me now? I need to check on my colleague. I think he's unconscious..."

Recognising the voice as Rebecca's, Honey quickly put out a call to everyone.

"All units from Sierra Oscar. We have a hostage situation at 12 lake field house. PC Jones had put her radio on but is tied up and I think PC Tait may be hurt"

With that, a number of officers stopped what they were doing and rushed off to help their colleagues and friends. When he heard the call over his radio, Smithy shot up from his desk and jumped into a car with Inspector Gold without a second thought.

Back at the house, Rebecca was trying to get answers from the man. Eventually, reluctantly he gave in. He pulled up a seat and sat down next to Rebecca.
"This woman here, she's Jenny Nelson. I let her ring you lot before I tied her up, because I wanted you here. You see, her stupid husband, Liam got himself arrested this morning by you lot but he's not the only one who carried on Radford's work once he got killed. If Liam goes down, he's taking me with him but the problem is, I don't want to go"

Just as Rebecca tried to find out more, police sirens were heard in the distance and the man jumped up from his chair and started shouting at Rebecca.
"YOU! You think you're clever don't you. I'm not going to prison cop. I'M NOT!"
With that, the man pulled out a gun.

The officers were waiting near the house for armed officers from SO19 to join them as a formality just in case the man inside was armed but they seemed to be taking their time. Luckily, they could still hear everything over the radio from Rebecca's end. They were all waiting patiently until they heard Rebecca's voice shouting

"Please don't be stupid. Put the gun down!"

Stupidly, without thinking twice, Smithy ran across the road, kicked down the front door and entered the house. Gina shouted for no one to move as she debated what to do next.

Smithy noticed Cameron out cold on the floor but as he took a step further into the living room, horror struck him. Smithy saw the lady and Rebecca standing next to each other and the man was standing in front of them pointing a gun. The man looked at Smithy and laughed

"You're one silly copper. Now, I'm gonna have to use this on someone"

With that, the man clicked the gun and shouted

"Eeeny, meeny, miney...mo"

With that, he pulled the trigger.

BANG!
